Definitions

  • My invention relates to seamless stockings such as are usually produced upon circular knitting machines and are provided with seamlm heels and toes, the object of my in- 5 vention bei to produce a more acceptable of I is type than those now made and also to efiect economy in such production, especially when a portion of the stocking is reinforced, or, as it is usually termed,
  • Figure 1 is a si e view of t e foot and ankle portions of a stocking produced in accordance with m invention.
  • Fi re 2 is a 'agram of the circle of 0 need es upon which the stocking is knitted.
  • the ordinary method of knitting a seemless stocking upon a circular knitting machine is to start the knitting upon all of the needlesof the machine and to reduce tubular web, by round-and-round itting u 11 said needles, until the point is reache at which the heel is to be produced, whereupon that half of the circle ofneedles of the machine which corresponds to the instep portion ,ofthe web is thrown out of action but retaining their loops, and to-and-fro knitting is conducted upon the remaining needles, with alternate narrowing and wi enin'g of the web, the effect bein to produce upon the rear.
  • half of the tubu ar leg web a pocket having on each side tapered webs united on the diagonal line :0 extending from the upper corner of the pocket down towards the center of the back of the same.
  • one or more reinforcin yarns are sup lied to that half of the needles employed in ittin these portions, or said needlesare supplie with a heavier arn than that supplied to the needles which knit. the instep'portion of the foot and ankle webs of the stocking.
  • the needles of the machine are, as shown in Fig. 2, divided into three sets 2, 3 and 4, the needles 2 extending around one half of the cylinder, the needles 4' comprising those within restricted se ment on the other half of the cylinder, an the needles 3 comprising those between the needles 2 and 4 at each side of the cylinder.
  • the needles 4 are preferab y provided withbutts of di erent length, the needles 4 having low butts, the needles 2 having high butts, and .the needles 3 having butts of intermediate length.
  • the reinforcing yarn when the web is reinforced or spliced in the rear portion of the ankle, the heel and the sole portion of the foot, the reinforcing yarn, during the knitting of these ortions, may be applied only to the nee es 4, or may extend one or a few needles beyond the corner of the heel joint into the instep portion, as is usual, in order to strengthen said corner, theoutline of the reinforced portions of the sole and ankle being re resented by the dotted lines d in Fig. 1 an the outline of the heel by the dotted lines f.
  • the spliced wales of the sole thus substantially correspond in number to the number of wales presented at the front half of the heel, and the spliced wales at the rear half ofthe ankle substantially correspond to the number of wales presented at the top of the heel.
  • the toe of the ,stocking however is knit on half the circle of needles as usual and spliced accordingly, as indicated in the drawing, so that this spliced toe is larger than the spliced heel.
  • the ordinary stocking for womens wear as produced by a circular knitting machine, is wider than it should be in the foot portion in order that it shall be sufiiciently wide in the le portion, and the stockings are subsequentIy stretched upon a shapin and drying form to aid in imparting the esired swell to the calf portion of the leg.
  • This form also measurably contracts the diameter of the foot by stretching the same lengthwise, but even so, the foot portion of the finished stocking is wider than that of a standard full fashioned stocking.
